Your journey begins with a warm Fun Over 50 Holidays welcome at Roma Street Coach Terminal and Brisbane Domestic Airport. Please ensure your morning flights arrive in time to meet our friendly tour hostess and fellow guests by 9:30am. Once aboard our ‘Gold Class’ or ‘Diamond Class’ coach, travelling responsibly with 100% offset emissions, we set off on a scenic orientation drive past tranquil pockets like Slaughter Falls and the Botanic Gardens Mt Coot-tha before stopping at the summit lookout for sweeping views from the city skyline to the coastline beyond—a perfect photo opportunity. Next, it’s time to indulge your senses with a French-inspired welcome lunch at a stunning riverside venue. Sip on fine wine or sparkling water as you savour classic French cuisine with decadent desserts—while gazing out over the Brisbane River and the graceful span of the Story Bridge. After check-in and time to refresh, anticipation builds for tonight’s grand event—the Edinburgh Military Tattoo, Brisbane Edition. Fun Over 50 Holidays has secured VIP Private Suite Packages offering; a luxurious air-conditioned glass-enclosed suite with your own private outdoor balcony and plush seating; a premium menu of gourmet canapés and beverages, including wine, beer, and soft drinks served by your dedicated suite steward; exclusive VIP amenities, a stress-free entry process being hosted throughout by your attentive Fun Over 50 hostesses. Be swept away by the stirring sounds of massed pipes and drums, precision marching, dazzling performances, and military pageantry—all delivered with world-class production and a uniquely Australian twist.
Enjoy a relaxed morning with a hearty full breakfast at the hotel with your fellow guests before we set off for some riverside exploration. We head to South Bank, Brisbane’s riverside playground, where we board the Wheel of Brisbane. Soak up sweeping city and river views from the comfort of a climate-controlled gondola—it’s a picture-perfect way to see the sights from above. From here, we make our way to the iconic Greek Club for our grand finalé lunch. A joyous affair, feast on a lavish banquet of traditional Greek dishes all served with true Mediterranean generosity. It’s not just a meal; it’s a celebration! Get ready to clap, stomp, and dance along with vibrant Greek music and traditional dancing as we wrap up the tour with a little OPA! flair. We then transfer guests to Brisbane Domestic Airport (please book flights after 3.30pm), followed by Roma Street Coach Terminal drop-off.
